Zythyr Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I only had two partitions on my hard drive (1. system reserved 2. Windows 7). I resized my Windows partitions to give me extra 10GB space to install Leopard. After installing Leopard, I resized my Windows partition agian to give me another 10GB space to install Snow Leopard. Problem is, after creating another partition for Snow, when I go to Leopard, and try to format the Snow partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), it doesn't work. For some reason, it just formats it as FAT32 and changes the volume name to something like d5s4 that partition just becomes unallocated again. Also, I noticed conflicting information. Disk Management- says both of my 10gb partitions (for Mac) are "primary" Diskpart from command prompt- one of my 10gb partition is primary while the other is logical EASEUS Partition Master- says my Leopard partition is logical and my Snow partition is primary. Maybe this could be causing me to not being able to format my Snow partition??? I don't know how to change the partition from logical to primary.

Zythyr Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Ignore, I got it fixed. I just deleted both of my Mac partitions, and reinstalled Leopard, then created another partition from the unallocated space.
